September has gone almost as fast at August did. Still, there’s been a little more time to enjoy the garden.
Most of my Tickseed are blooming strong, but I have a real soft spot for the pink ones.
My favorite mum is coming into her peak. She’s absolutely amazing when covered in blooms
The varying types of Black-Eyed Susans I have are always strong this time of year.
I cut back the Yarrow that had finished a couple weeks ago, and now I’m getting a second flush of blooms on some.
Same with the Widow’s Tears – I chopped off the seed heads from the faded blooms and now we are back in business. Deadheading can keep many flowers going, but I didn’t realize it worked with either of those. I was just trying to tidy up a bid.
Deadheading will keep these cosmos going until the first frost. Can you believe that’s just one plant? It takes my breath away every time I see it.
I planted some sunflowers late in the summer, and now they are finally blooming. They are just small ones but cheerful none-the-less.
I fell in love with this gorgeous dahlia at the start of the season. I put it in a pot with some petunias and it struggled all summer. But now it’s thriving! I’m definitely going to try to keep my Dahlia tubers over winter. I think the crawl space will be dry and cool enough for them.
There’s probably only a few more weeks of really good blooms left, but I’m going to try to enjoy every one!

Goodness! How I love your yard and your flowers everywhere. Especially the cosmos. I’m partial to pinks and purples and daisies! 🙂 I would enjoy every moment and if I were a neighbor, I would take a chair into the midst of those flowers and just knit away! 🙂
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

It is like your yard is in a time warp. The fact that you are so far north of us is mind boggling that you still have so much going on. Even the gardens in town that are maintained professionally don’t look as good.
